Hava Nagila (The Movie)

A lively romp through the history, mystery, and meaning of the ubiquitous Jewish party tune with the likes of Harry Belafonte, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, and Regina Spektor. This exuberant, surprisingly fascinating film follows the song from Eastern Europe to the American suburbs, tapping into universal themes about the importance of joy, the power of music, and the resilient spirit of a people.

On the Road

"...the movie’s real strength is in evoking the feel of the road in a now-vanished America. If there were an award for location scouting, along with production design, this film would be a prime candidate." (Leonard Maltin)

No

"...a stinging, brutally funny satire of modern politics from Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain that ads up to lesson on how to defeat a despot with a Smile button." (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)
